I've made a card for my daughter. I used an image and paper from the Bebunni collection from Crafter's Companion. I added a personalised sentiment in Photoshop Elements and finished with a floral frame.Kimx

I made this mixed canvas to honor my grandmother. The picture of her taken behind the wheel of this car was taken in 1916 when she was 16. The some of the other products I used were gray gesso, old lace, gear dies, alcohol inks, lock, chipboard key, micro beads and chunky silver deep impression enamel

I'm guessing you will know this is for my mum on her special day . I have used a handmade Masterboard for the background and the dies are by Couture Creations, Tim Holtz, Spellbinders and Memory Box. The stamp is Inkadinkado 'Happy Days'.

Julie is hosting our Love, Love, Love Challenge. As Valentine's Day is just around the corner we want to see your 'love' themed creations. You can enter anything you fancy, it doesn't have to just be cards, as long as it meets the challenge, and doesn't exceed the 15 total challenges entered rule!

A fairly clean and simple design - a valentine for my husband. The image is a very old one from Cuddly Buddly to which I added the sentiment and then coloured with promarkers. I took a section of the image and tiled it in Photoshop Elements to make a matching background paper.

I made this love card for my husband for our wedding anniversary. The heart was hand drawn, the sentiment, star banner and butterfly were die cuts. For colour on my card I used several colours of distress inks and thick embossing enamel. The script on the heart is an very old Italian poem rubber stamp by Hero Arts.

I started by making a Masterboard and used it as the background for this card. The small heart dies are Tim Holtz, the border die is by memory box and the large heart by docraft. The sentiment is part of a stamp called Love Quilt by Whippersnapperdesigns. Hope you like it, Angela x
